They don't eat dirt, like many people believe. Earthworms eat decaying plant and animal matter, and they usually swallow some soil with it fuck.
How do earthworms obtain their food?
Earthworms possess very strong mouth muscles - they do not have teeth. Earthworms will sometimes pull fallen leaves down into their burrow. When the leaf decomposes or softens a little they pull small bits off at a time to munch on. They also "swallow" soil as they burrow and extract nutrients from it.
